Mayo scored 7 unanswered points while blake was guarding him and as soon as blake was benched Mayo only scored 1 basket the rest of the game.

Blake should never play the 2. The point is Mike Brown needs to end the Sessions/Blake experiment it doesn't work. And it doesn't have to be Goudelock.. he's been playing Barnes at the 2 these past few games.

He's been playing Barnes at the 2, and he's been playing Metta at the 2. He's obviously trying out new fills to Kobe at the 2 spot. he's tried it with Blake, Barnes and Metta.

My guess is because of Goudelock's injury, play through it, and subsequent failure to truly do so that he's completely out of the 2 position from the bench. So Brown is trying to find his replacement.

IF Blake could knock down his wide open 2s and play with confidence and not "pass up open opportunities trying to pass it" like Kobe says he needs to work through then he would do well enough as a scorer and be virtually the same as goudelock. Sad but true. And Goudelock has been as off as Blake so they are essentially the same.

And as far as Barnes playing the 2 over Blake, I didn't expect Barnes to get much burn after that technical in the close game so take from that what you will.

To be completely frank and honest, The Lakers have NO pure two guard that can really fill that role that he leaves.

Brown had it all figured out for the most part when Goudelock was at the 2, but Goudelock's been nursing the injury and couldn't play through it well enough when Sessions was out there with him. Most forget the first lineup Sessions had off the bench was usually him and Goudelock a majority of the time. Since Goudelocks bad play+injury Brown is testing out new people at the 2 position searching for a replacement for him. if Barnes gets that role who is gonna play the 3? Murphy? McRoberts? Ebanks?

"Bryant had come to rage against the idea that Howard's clownish disposition could overtake the locker room, the Lakers' culture, and had warned Howard that he would never, ever let it happen."

Regardless if he's injured or not Mike Brown doesn't seem to have Goudelock in the rotation.

"We're shrinking it a little bit," Brown said of his rotation. 'Goudelock has been good for us and had some great experience," Brown said of his rookie guard, who is averaging 4.4 points in 10.7 minutes a game. "He needs to keep himself mentally and physically ready in case his number is called. But we're about to get busy right here. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it with some guys who have been to the dance before. Metta has been there and Matt has been there."

That's the coaches job to figure out and he hasn't done a good job of it. 20 games left and we still don't know the rotations..

Idk why people are so upset with mike brown when we are still 3rd in the west.... Yes his rotations are very annoying but they can't be that horrible if we are third in the west..... The only difference I see in the lakers is that our defense has took a plummet..... Last night we didn't get back on defense and tony Allen hit all his big shots and made a lot of big plays .... Any other night he would not make NOT one of those ridiculous shots he was making tonight.... And why is nobody complaining about Ron Artest defense on Rudy gay? He shot a very high percentage with Ron on him for a lot of the game
